Would you count this as a color "lipstick":

Yes, the first sentence doesn't work but the second does. I guess Sharon (Norah) wanted to make it difficult.
Ask me if you have a question about anything else.
Oh man!!! The color to find is Deep Sky Blue. The sentence I found was "the skies were a deep sharp blue". LOL. It's a good thing this challenge is open ended because it may take me to infinity and beyond to finish it!! LOL
JoAnne wrote: "Sue wrote: "I have a question just to see if I am understanding this concept. Here are two sentences for my question. "She spared no expense on the handsome Springfield metallic casket. Their neigh..."Can I use the same sentence for two different colours - blood and rust?? "The sunset is a bloody rust-red on a sharp autumn horizon,"
I have couple I wanted to check.Would grease be here a color:
"Greasy clouds cloaked the city, bleached by the full moon, which shone like a silver coin lost in a dirty gutter."
And how about obsidian:
"The day after his meeting with Traxler, he had his hair dyed a color called "obsidian void.""
And coin:
"They were glossy, shining like coins beneath water."
Mod
I remember sky blue being a hard one!
Yes, you can use the same sentence for 2 colors! :)
Mod

"Greasy clouds cloaked the city, bleached by the full moon, which shone like a silver coin lost in a dirty gutter."
And how about ob..."
Only the second one works....
JoAnne wrote: "Johanna wrote: "I have couple I wanted to check.Would grease be here a color:

Don't know if you already have silver or not but I would think silver would work from this sentence as it's describing the color of the coin.
..."
Hey JoAnne, another question for you. In the book I am reading the main character is aspiring to become a fashion designer. She has some ideas for colours she would like to use and has come up with her own names for them. Would this sentence work for cherry and turquoise?"Blink Pink, Choke Cherry, Sherry Flip, Cocktail Fuchsia, Turquoise Icing. I could go on. If I ever do work in silk, I plan to use those names."
Mod
Works for me!! At least one Turquoise out of the way!! :)
JoAnne wrote: "Sue wrote: "Hey JoAnne, another question for you. In the book I am reading the main character is aspiring to become a fashion designer. She has some ideas for colours she would like to use and has ..."Thank you. I'm using that Turquoise under the blue category as I still have not found any blue. At least that will make me feel I have accomplished something LOL
Seriously?? I just found soldier-blue. Why oh why couldn't it be Air Force Blue!! LOLHere's another one I need checked. I'm not sure it works.
"She was busily sketching in charcoal at her easel..."
Mod
Here's another one I need checked. I'm not sure it works.
"She was busily sketching in charcoal at her easel...""
Charcoal is not a descriptor, unfortunately...

That was what I was thinking. I will have to keep looking.
Will this work for ebony. "In the sunlight the mass of ebony glinted with shimmering...." The one character in the book is describing his blind date's long black hair.
Mod
Yes!
Sorry to keep bugging you JoAnne but I have another question for you. Can I use this sentence for porcelain even though they are not talking about the colour category that it is in? "...clear skies with only a cottonball or two dotting the porcelain blue that matched Amelia's dress."
Mod
Yes, I think it's ok. GO ahead...
Okay I have a really obscure one for you now. I will give you four sentences just so you understand the context of the conversation."That's a beautiful dress you're wearing. What do call the color?"
"Wineberry. It's a Billie Original."
Could this count as wine or berry, or both colors or neither colors?
Mod
If the color has more than one word, you must find the color how it is listed (Army Green - you must find Army Green.)
Going by what she wrote, I would have to say it's not useable because wineberry is not one of the words.
JoAnne wrote: "Sharon wrote this:If the color has more than one word, you must find the color how it is listed (Army Green - you must find Army Green.)
Going by what she wrote, I would have to say it's not use..."
Okay thanks. I was thinking the same thing. I will keep looking.
Would this be considered a colour or not? "There was a directory of the residents just to the right of the main gate above which was the name of the complex scrolled in dark pewter."
Mod
I'd use it.
Sue wrote: "Oh man!!! The color to find is Deep Sky Blue. The sentence I found was "the skies were a deep sharp blue". LOL. It's a good thing this challenge is open ended because it may take me to infinity and..."I also found deep dark blue LOL
Mod
JoAnne wrote: "I remember always finding blue sky over and over! Not what I wanted!! :)"Yup me too!! One book I am reading right now mentioned the bold colours of the sunset in El Paso without actually mentioning any colours. LOL
Would this work "...cast me a flinty-eyed glance." I am thinking no that it really doesn't refer to a colour but if it's allowed I will take it lol.
Mod

Nope, doesn't work! :)
Would this work "Her apricot-blond hair..."
Mod
Yep!
Would metallic lavender work for metal?? I already have lavenderWhat about "a powdery blanket of white"?? (for powder)
Wooohooo I found Prussian blue. That was one I didn't think I would ever find lol
Mod

#1 No - you're looking for a black or gray color for metal
#2 I think it's ok.

I didn't think either one worked but I will use the powdery one unless (or until) I find a better one using the word powder.
I have a couple more I need checked.Leather - "...skin tanned the color and consistency of old leather"
Butter - "...who'd put the buttery chunks into Britney Spears's tresses..."
